Frightening Facts and Solutions to Conquer Kitchen Germs
(firmenpresse) - AVON, OH -- (Marketwired) -- 03/24/16 -- The kitchen is a hot spot for family time, entertaining, socializing... and germs. That's right -- the kitchen is actually listed as the "germiest" area in the home, according to a study by the , making it the perfect room to focus efforts.
The kitchen is probably dirtier than a toilet seat(1).
Clean shelves and pantry areas -- where food spills and germs are plentiful -- at least once a month with a natural cleaning solution and then add shelf liner to help keep these surfaces clean. ® brand by Duck® brand is an excellent choice, as they are available in a variety of technologies and colors to meet your needs. Plus, most are machine-washable, so when a big spill does come along, just toss the liner in the wash and re-use.
More than 75% of dish sponges/rags tested contained Coliform -- a family of bacteria that includes Salmonella and E. coli(2).
Get a sponge back in proper cleaning condition by wetting it and popping it in the microwave for two minutes to eliminate germs. However, once a sponge starts smelling -- it's best to toss it and replace with a new one.
In a study of 160 households, 72.9% of surfaces tested were found positive for mold. Mold was found under the kitchen sink in nearly 83% of the homes(3).
Warm and moist environments are breeding grounds for germs. Check the area under the kitchen sink often, for condensation from dish washers or sink leaks. Similar to the pantry and shelves, clean the area monthly -- and utilize shelf liner to protect the bottom of the cabinet surface.
